Startup Services

Starting up a new business, making it successful and building long-term value in it is a challenging proposition. Working with small businesses, we see first hand the crushing mistakes that startups can make.

We are hired by many clients in Maine and New Hampshire, who if they had hired us or another advisor sooner, would have saved significant dollars and trouble. We know it’s difficult to find a CPA that you trust, who you are comfortable with, will have your best interests at heart, and is not just looking to fatten their bank accounts at your expense. Do your homework, ask business acquaintances for a referral, and hire an advisor(s) to guide you through the initial maze of questions. If you find the right advisor, you will save much more than you ever spend.

There are a lot of legal and tax issues involved when starting a business. Many questions should be answered to maximize your success and build wealth from your business. A business startup strategy and plan is the best way to start your company moving in the right direction.

• Are you choosing the right business entity structure?
• Do you have the right business plan?
• Do you have an operating budget?
• Will you be preparing the right business reports that will provide you with the right information to run your business profitably?
• What financial software will you use?
• Are you using the right accounting system to get appropriate and accurate information?
• How will you present your company to lenders to get the best financing?

We can help you answer these questions and many more to increase the success of your business.
